Summary

The use of laryngeal mask airway or i-gel to manage airway may improve success rates, especially in difficult situations more than tracheal intubation.

Detailed description

This study compares the insertion success rate and insertion time among the proceal laryngeal mask airway, i-gel, and tracheal tube. Following a short lecture, airway novices try to insert proceal laryngeal mask airway, i-gel, and tracheal tube into manikin with difficult laryngoscopy scenarios.

Conditions

• Airway Obstruction

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	proceal laryngeal mask airway	In proceal laryngeal mask group, proceal laryngeal mask airway is inserted by novices.
DEVICE	tracheal tube	In tracheal tube group, tracheal tube is intubated by novices.
DEVICE	i-gel	In i-gel group, i-gel is inserted by novices.
